PAGE TWO KEEPING UP ON FARMING I With Unde Walt ■Well, 1 reckon them lowland farm ers down in the eastern pant of the state are about to wind' up their Irish potato dig-yin. Least ways that’s what I hear. I guess everybody down there’s pret ty glad it’s gittin over too, ’cause from what I gather, them fellers had their ups and downs so far as prices was concerned. Seems like the OPS -liftin their ceilin prices soita lifted the growers spirits with it. Some of the growers, I hear, was workin pretty hard to git the old ceil ing price raised a little bit about the time they was gittin ready to start diggin. Well, about the time it look ed like they was gonna raise the ceilin, here come word that they had just did away with it altogether. I don’t know why, cause I didn't see any of ’em but I wouldn’t be scared to bet my bottom dollar that them potato growers was a happy bunch of people; when they heerd that. I was settin in the kitchen there Saturday mornin, listenin to the radio, while Fannie was fixin us a bite of dinner, and I happened to hear where this feller Gilbert Clark had been talkin about the Irish potato crop. \ He’s the feller in charge of marketin l fruits and vegetables for the Agri- j: culture Department down there at Ra leigh, so I judge that he must know what he is talkin about. Anyhow he said they would still be a few potatoes bein shipped, out i of some of the sections down there durin the last week of June. But he went on to say that he expected | shipments to be pretty heavy from Elizabeth City up until about the mid dle of the week. Then after that, he predicted that things would begin taperin off and by July 5, they would not be hardly a potato left in the fields over the state. I been layin it up to go down in the potato county sometimes when they are diggin ’em, but seems like ever year I’m so busy about that time a fightin grass and cuttin grain ’til I don’t have a chance to go. Maybe next year IJ] have things in a little better shape to where I can go. I hope so anyhow, ’cause I’d really like to see how they go about doin it. The radio went on to say that this feller Clark was happy over what the growers was gittin for their products at them eastern auction markets. Seems like the hot weather we’ve been havin ain’t been the best kind for them fellers who grow that stuff for sale. But, I reckon from the way they give it in, the buyers are a payin right good prices for the best stuff. If I ain’t mistaken, seems to me like they said cucumbers was a bringin up to as much as SB.OO or more a bushel. Now, that may not be such a'high price after all, but if people didn’t care any more for cucumbers than I do, I bet they wouldn’t be bringin 50 cents a bushel. Peppers was another thing they mentioned. I remember particular ' about that, cause they was talkin ' about a Bullnose type or somethin. Bullnose, snubnose or whatever they 1 was, was sellin for as much as $6.50 a bushel. And that’s another thing I don’t care nothin about. But, I reckon its good in more ways than one and that most of the people ain’t like I am. I’m glad somebody likes ’em for I’m glad to see them farmers a gittin a good price for their pep per.

Ik llllilll IlSljS' /v* Each kind of tree, shrub, or plant has a best time and method for prop agating it. IWe cannot discuss all of them but there are a few plants that are most successfully propagated at this season of the year. For example, many gardeners in Eastern North Carolina are growing the evergreen species of azaleas. Os course it is easy to purchase azaleas from the nurseries, but that will take money and it is not very difficult to grow your own if you are willing to give them some care. Azaleas may be j easily propagated by cuttings taken from the plant in July. The cuttings should be made of the present sea son’s wood, about four inches long, after the base of the new stem has become partially matured. The best medium in which to root azaleas is a mixture of half pure sand i and half peat moss. This material ; may be put in a special frame or shal- i low box to a depth of about six inch- : es, in a place where the frame can I be shaded and watered when neces sary. The leaves should be stripped from 1 Try a Herald Classified Ad For Quick Results! \ ■' • S'T'.-- '• ' _ i; I The mighty pom 1 ' of? peat new n ■ gnu V I ■ ■ ■ plus foe and on/y Ferguson System I I THAT'S THE SECRET OF I ■ THE NEW AND FAR MORE POWERFUL I | FERGUSON 3D J i * “> » Ferguson’s mighty valve-in-head engine, with the most remarkable torque characteristic of all, gives you enormous lugging ability.

The peach is another plant that must be propagated at this time of the year. The peach will not r come true to variety from seed therefore if you have any peach seedlings it is best to graft a known variety* upon them. 'Since the peach cannot be grafted successfully in winter like the apple, it must be budded during July or August. Contact your county agent at once for instructions or bulletins on budding peach trees. Pecans are also budded at this time of year.
